Cocoa Loco Juice

Hello! Hello! This is a drive by blogging - just before a cheeky workout with el podgero*. I have been juicing pretty much every day for at least a year now - and while I love all the combinations that veggies and fruits offer - I confess I tend to stick with some old faithfuls and I was getting a little bored.

Juicing is healthy, fun and easy but come winter it's easy to swerve the undoubted wonderment of juice and head to the sandwhich aisle. Fine - if you're all good with wheat - but the grain doesn't love me.

So here for you is an accidental discovery - made this afternoon. I just needed something naughty!
 
I give you a beet juice with choccy woccy happyness thrown in...


The Dollies Went Shopping & In Their Cart They Put:

1 large beetroot raw
2 large carrots
2 apples - they like braeburns but any will do
1 big handful berries - frozen or fresh (blueberries are the best but a combination is perfect too)
Soy Yoghurt (or sheeps or goats)
1 dessert spoon of organic raw cacao powder (Bournville Cocoa is also very good)

All you do is juice the beetroot, carrots and apples - then add the berries, yoghurt and cocoa powder and whizz with a hand blender.

Eh Voila! 

Freakin' delicious - it's also incredibly good for you and you can add some protein powder & hemp or flax oil if you want to boost the nutrition. I did and it tasted wonderful.

Here's the good stuff:
A B1, B2, B6,B, C, D,E, K,Beta carotene, folic acid

Good for: 
anti cancer, health promoter, pectin forms a gel in the intestine which eliminates toxins, liver cleansing, iron deficiency, anaemia, helps reduce hardening and blockage of the arteries, promotes healthy eyes and skin.

If you add oils - then you're bumping up your omegas too.
